Nutty Orange Slice
Slice Ingredients:
150g Nuttelex
3 tbsp orange juice
3 tsp orange rind
6 Weetbix
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup LSA
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius. Line a lightly greased, shallow 18cm x 28cm tin with baking paper, making sure the paper comes above each side. This will allow you to remove the slice from the pan more easily.
2. Break the Weetbix in half and put in TM. Crumble the Weetbix for 5 seconds on speed 4, or until desired consistency.
3. Add orange rind, flour, sugar, LSA and almonds. Mix for 15 seconds on speed 4. Remove from TM and set aside.
4. Add Nuttelex and orange juice to TM and mix for 2-3 minutes at 60 degrees on speed 1, or until Nuttelex has melted. Add Weetbix mixture back to TM and use spatula to roughly incorporate wet and dry mixtures, before replacing TM lid and mixing on speed 3 for 1 minute or until well combined.
5. Press mixture firmly and evenly into prepared tin, and then use a fork to roughen the surface. Put slice aside and wash TM.
Glaze Ingredients:
1 egg white
2 tsp grated orange rind
1 cup icing sugar
Method:
1. Put all ingredients in TM and mix for 20 seconds on speed 4 or until smooth.
2. Pour glaze evenly over slice and then bake for 30 minutes or until golden.
3. Allow slice to cool completely before cutting, otherwise the glaze will crack and break.
Notes
The slice will keep for about one week in an airtight container.
I use Nuttelex because it is healthier and adds a little more nutty flavour. You can replace it with butter if you want to.
Variations
You can replace the plain Weetbix with Multigrain Weetbix or Oatbrits for something a little different. My mum likes me to make this with Oatbrits because the flavour of oats goes nicely with the nuts.
You could use desiccated coconut instead of LSA.
You could replace the almonds with macadamias, or any other nut you think would go nicely with orange.
